DavidD Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It looks like a fairly bare bones Lynx emulator, running the game. It does offer save states and is only $3... The description mentions "left and right handed controls", but I'm not sure if it supports "flipping" the screen. The emulator only appears to support a few Lynx buttons... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio F Software Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I had this on my wish list, though I prefer the Windows 95 version of the game over the Lynx. Still it's just $3 so maybe I'll still get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainXavier Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The publisher for the Switch version is Pixel Games UK. They're the same people behind the Steam release which includes various ports of Chip's Challenge. I wonder if this means we'll see the other versions show up on Switch as well. That'd be a great deal at $3! The Steam version runs $25 and rarely goes on sale. @Radio F Software I'm not sure if you're aware but the Windows version is available for free through Steam. There's also a sequel available as well as a 3D spiritual successor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tend to buy the same game multiple times just to have it on various platforms, lol. Though I swear I paid for Chip's Challenge 1 on Steam when it first launched... 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidD Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 While I sort of understand the logic of the buttons (no full button access, just "gameplay" ones), it appears that there is no "quick restart" button as they didn't map that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn 1 and 2 were sold in a bundle at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidD Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 So, this is interesting... The game's menu has a RESTART option -- choosing it essentially sends an OPTION 1 keypress to the emulator. (If you hold down PAUSE and choose the option, the game returns to the title screen.) Option 2 isn't emulated at all, as far as I can tell, which means you can't toggle the music... nor can you flip the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I have been playing it. I love this version compared to the windows 3.1 / 95 version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
